Located at Edwards, California, in the western Mojave Desert, Armstrong Flight Research Center is NASA's primary center for atmospheric flight research and operations.
The wingtips have elavons which generate thrust due to Prandtl effect. They also provide stability that would otherwise require vertical stabilizer. One advantage with such a wing is the extremely low drag and maximum lift. It seems intuitive that such an aircraft would be more efficient than a round tube with wings stuck on, which is how all commercial are. If one wishes to have a solar-powered autonomous aircraft that could stay aloft indefinitely, then this design seems ideal. Such aircraft could conceivably fly up to the stratosphere and remain airborne for months, providing communications capability over large rural areas without need for satellites or terrestrial cellular network towers.
I remember where i was, what i was doing when this happened and wont ever forget like they said. I was a sophomore in highschool, talking to my friend while he was waiting to get a coffee from the teachers lounge bc other students "worked" in there. Bro was talking about how coffee ruined his teeth which is visibly showed 🤢🤢 but just then the schools speaker rung telling everyone to be prepared and keep your eyes peeled for the NASA shuttle piggyback. He spotted it first from far out away and we just stood and stared off into the sky as it slowly flew above the whole school [Paramount HS]
Hello. In the journal Optics Letters, researchers Glen A. Sanders and Austin Taranta from Honeywell and the Optoelectronics Research Center at the University of Southampton in the UK describe how they used a new type of hollow-core optical fiber. This allowed them to increase the stability requirements of the gyroscope by 500 times compared to other fiber optic gyroscopes. With the help of the “HYBRID gyroscope” you can make scientific discoveries; in astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, higher theoretical physics,... I am writing to you with a proposal for the joint invention of a HYBRID gyroscope from non-circular, TWO coils with a new type of optical fiber with a “hollow core photonic-substituted vacuum zone or (NANF)” where - the light travels 48000 meters in each arm, while it does not exceed the parameters 40/40/40 cm, and the weight is 4 kg. Manufacturers of “Fiber Optic Gyroscopes” can produce HYBRID gyroscopes for educational and practical use in schools and higher education institutions. Einstein dreamed of measuring the speed of a train, an airplane - through the Michelson-Morley experiment of 1881/2024, and only then would the experiment be more than 70% complete. This can be done using a fiber optic HYBRID gyroscope. Based on the completion of more than 70% of Michelson's experiment, the following postulates can be proven: Light is an ordered vibration of gravitational quanta, and dominant gravitational fields adjust the speed of light in a vacuum. (We are not looking for ether, we will see the work of gravitational quanta) The result is a «theory of everything» in a simple teaching device and a new tape measure for measuring the universe.
Disgusting. Youre a SPACE AGENCY not a virtue signaling outfit. Your job is to focus on SPACE EXPLORATION. if youre not going to do that then give back my tax dollars. Sick of seeing this bullshit carrying on by our government. Why in hell are we celebrating peoples sexuality?! Why does it need to be out in the open?! This is something private that needs to be behind closed doors, away from children and the public.
American Ingenuity at it's finest before all this Communist bullshit started with rewarding top jobs by the color of skin, sexual identification and destroying any rewards for the best of the best. We are being destroyed by political forces that reward the least qualified to be fair. Obama and Biden pushed that ideology on help with Steroids. God help us get back to Sanity before we see the mushrooms in the distance.
i grew up with his daughter, and loved spending time with the Fullerton family. He had a deer head mounted in his garage, when i asked him if he hunted, he said " no, it ran out in front of an airplane i was landing ". What an amazing man.
I completely agree with you. One can even say more, he was the best representative of the planet Earth. In the Soviet Union, as now in Russia, Cosmonautics Day is celebrated every year on April 12, in honor of the first human flight into space. I believe that the day of man's first moon walk should also be celebrated by the whole world. This is also an epoch-making event in the history of mankind.
I would love to be a test pilot, but the only conceivable way to achieve such a role would be to do it through the military. Back when I was eligible to be a military pilot, the eyesight requirements and other standards were too stringent for me. I would, however, love the opportunity to get involved with the test pilot work today. I just don’t know how that can be possible.
no, latency was purposely introduced between the control inputs and actuator outputs to explore its effect on pilot induced oscillations, and how to ,itigate it in situations where removing the latency (e.g. due to insufficient speed in flight computer) is not an option
In 2016 this system pulled 9.1G to save SULLY2, and succeeded. Here's the declassified heads up footage: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WkZGL7RQBVw.html
Dear Nasa and Nasa recipients The "Marry Go Round (MGR) experiment" You Johny, and Danny are playing on MGR A and B. Johny is standing on MGR A and danny is standing on MGR B. MGR B is sitting atop MGR A. Both MGRs get spun in the same direction. This experiment is decribe the difference between expansion and speed. You are the origin for Johny' speed and Johny is the origin for Danny's speed. What does Johny have speed in reference to~ you? Yes you are completely relative to his position. Thus Johny is relative to Danny's position not you; because you have no force enacting on Danny. Why does Danny move faster than Johny when the same amount of force is enacting upon them? I'll tell you why It's because Danny is expanding away. You see Danny has his own limit of speed; Johny can spin Danny as fast as light moves because Johny is Danny's origin. Plasma is timeless but vacuums the first state of matter are densless. Speed becomes fourth dimensional in a vacuum. Solids can store this extra dimension of speed really well because they hold shape. This is called inertial force. Expansion can easily be engineered in the same way the marry go round experiment does it. Lets say you create an electrical magnetic force inside a coil spun in the shape of a solo cup. the electical magnetic charge is conected to a casing with coils of the same device in mulitple sequences until you reach the expidition ship. Now of course you would have to allow the coil to be hot for anything to happen but you begin to expand at a rate greater than the speed of light and possibly even faster. Whats the problem; we have a limitation of devices. This is as far as i can take us into the future thank you. Sincerely-Ronald Braden Russell
Not to be uncharitable, but Mel Apt screwed the pooch, initiating a turn back to base at much too high a speed in an inherently unstable airplane. This after flying a nearly perfect flight profile up to that point
48:52 - Very stupid statements. John Glenn was not born in the mid-20s. You clearly did not have to be born in 1930. Al Shepard was born in 1923, and he was not too old to walk on the Moon. Why would this author say such things that are blatantly wrong, which anyone can disprove by a quick glance at Wikipedia? What a bizarre thing for him to say. And to think about how many times he has given this talk, and the many opportunities he had to correct himself, let alone all the people he's said this to who could have corrected him.
51:05 - yet another strange statement. How bout this for a fact... Commanders for Apollo 8 Apollo 9 Apollo 10 ...were ALL AIR FORCE test pilots. An argument can be made that the missions leading up to the first landing mission were more critical than the ones that came after. (Remember that JFK's goal was to just land a man on the Moon, and return him safely.)
I remember it flying over Australia and we were watching this little blip go over, then we watched it land on TV I was 11 years old, brings back memories, I'm watching that show for all mankind,so I thought I'd check it out😂😂😂
